    15:01 Wow, that is impressive-fifty feet at a time, two hundred and fifty acres daily. Significant changes from a John Deere 45 with a ten-foot head and a great day combining twenty acres a day. Great video.

      Efficiency in time use especially during harvesting (my own experience on a small grain farm) is so important, time is money, optimal conditions are rarer than one would be think if you want it to go straight into a bin. My dad spent most days on the Gleaner, with a New Holland helping, many nights spent running the dryer. To grab 50' at a time wow, but when does $$$ spent in the name of efficiency become too much? Million dollar combines are real and must be near that limit.

    Question - what’s the hp range for a Class 8 combine rating? You mentioned this Fendt is a Class 8 rated at 538 engine hp, but the JD S790 (543 hp) and CaseIH 9250 (550 hp) are rated as Class 9 combines.

    • @ihtomi
      @ihtomi 2 года назад +1

      The rated horsepower of the Ideal 8 is 470 hp. The maximum is 538 hp. So it is a class 8 combine. The class 8 category is starting on 430 hp and it going to 500 hp.

    • @bigtractorpower
      @bigtractorpower  2 года назад +4

      It would be great to see the Honey Bee in the US. It may depend on terrain and yields. Here in KY wheat yields 100 bu an acre. A Deere S790 with a 45ft head will run 2.5 mph in wheat. The power and capacity of the combine is maxed in good wheat at 45ft.

      I did not observe any issues filming. The header had a nice clean cut. There were allot of soybean leaves on the ground prior to harvest from a recent harvest.

      The performance of harvesting the crop quickly and well is big plus. This farm raises winter winter wheat and double crop soybeans. Soybeans are planted right behind the combine as its harvesting wheat. Two crops from one field in one year is a big help.

      Most farmers run a lease program through their local dealership. Lease a unit for 2-3 years and when it ends they lease another (possibly newer) machine. I doubt most farmers are writing a check for the full cost of the combine and head.
